Fiend- Friends I Poem by Kctony Xtopher Nkwocha

Drugs, friends to 21st centurions
We use and abuse them at will
They also use and misuse us as well
They are natural for use but artificial for abuse.
Our parents had no pity on you
Ours, we burn and drown you everyday
I trust you… you send us to the rubbish
Make us your devout slaves, you, our god and master.
We are yet to board the bus to knowledge;
To understand, that our dependence is death.
You are a fiend, but we call you friend,
Why not?
As you accompany us down unreality lane,
You deal with our anxiety, stress and timidity.
You forget, your worth we give you,
Your strength we act out.
You are only something as we become nothing.
Our physiology is an accomplice unblamed.
Our neurons you trigger; control, our brains conditioned.
There is a sanction, you double edger.
Also for man, reality dodger…
